This I recognize

Unfortunately, school doesn't hit every kid the same. And, to be honest, how many of us (with or without student children who are close to us in our lives) know what it's like now? I have no way of knowing whether it is anything like my experience

Open letter to any millionaires who ... just want to buy empty warehouses and tear them down, pay the demo and hauling (landfill?) fees and, I don't know, plant native plants: You should all do that

I mean, Taco Bell has "fries" for some reason

I am a little: we of the US market are not the largest or most infected population, and this sounds like we are the fundi-est. Can we share funding-ing?

This made me feel good for 8 min. Amazing to be so strong and dedicated and make something so beautiful

Well well

Anyone else with basic orinthology knowledge annoyed that the AB/InBev bald eagle apparently didn't learn how to fly off of his horse friend until he was well over 4 years old? (per plumage) Or, we just saw the truncated life story. Because who was sourcing this eaglet's fish this whole time?

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Is Steve a starling

I know there's a lot going on in the world, but Ben Vereen in Pippen, at least, equals #hipgoals for a lifetime

"Imagine if we used billions of dollars to do court proceedings instead of mismatched uniforms, tear gas, and window smashing"

Thank God and those who kept up the pressure. Now do that for all the other kids ... difficult b.c we didn't "see" them, but is there a list/ network keeping track

It's true that from all these screenshot flying around, it's hard to tell where one is reading in the files (headers or section descriptions), and people are reacting (of course), but the emails, though rife with typos caused by being sent via phones, I guess, are what they are, right?

I guess some of it depends on one's belief in witnesses' respect/adherence to "being under oath?"

When hospitalized detainees can’t be found by family members or attorneys, advocates say, it leaves patients vulnerable to abuse and isolation and deprives them of their constitutional right to counsel.

On X. Hmm

I AM NOT OK WITH CHILDREN IN JAIL. OR CAMPS. OR HUNGRY. OR ABUSED. EVERYWHERE ON EARTH

I am still angry that they canceled Direct File (taxes) before it had a chance to gain any steam against the paid products' lobbies

I feel like it was a paragraph in the WW2 section of US history in 7th grade for me, but to be honest, it was driven home by @georgetakei.bsky.social and artist Roger Shimomura, and I bet a lot of people here still don't know
